Expect the worst and maybe - just maybe - be pleasantly surprised. Maybe. Possible. It's sad that that's what it's come down to...there was a time when we believed we were in every game, now we just hope to avoid humiliation. I'll never give up on these kids. I realized a while ago, giving up on the kids (not watching, not going, not spending) only hurts the kids. I will voice my displeasure about coaches, but I won't turn my back on those kids.

Reckless driver would be an understatement and I'm from Miami. Saw Graceland though, it was one of the brighter blurs of light that we passed. I was happy to get out of there with my life.

Spent a lot of time there when I was at NAS Millington. I know it's changed a lot, but Bealle Street was pretty rough back then. You wouldn't believe what the Liberty Bowl, Cooper-Young, and Overton Square look like today... Beale in the early 90s, late 80s, was a joke...with FedExForum there, it's become really nice. But I do love Tampa...it's great...when I come in February I want to: Hit the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, get a Gyro, watch the sunset at aptly named Sunset Park... Tour the Yuengling Brewery... Busch Gardens... Visit Ft Desoto... Tour the USF campus and watch Memphis v USF at the Sun Dome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I tell people if you come to Memphis and eat at Corkys or Rendezvouz, walk up and down Beale, and tour Graceland...you haven't visited Memphis...you hit the tourist traps. Cooper-Young, Overton Square, Memphis Zoo, Overton Park, Civil Rights Museum, Central BBQ, BBQ shop on Madison, Payne's BBQ, Germantown Commissary, Showboat BBQ, Interstate BBQ... That's where Memphians go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
